MSHR (human) full length protein-synthetic nanodisc

Discover a breakthrough in membrane protein research and drug development with DIMA Biotech's Synthetic Nanodiscs. Traditional methods struggle with challenges in obtaining water-soluble and bioactive forms of multi-transmembrane proteins. Our innovative polymer-based Nanodisc platform offers a game-changing solution by excluding membrane scaffold proteins (MSPs), resulting in a cleaner system with fewer interferences for downstream assays. By disassembling cell membranes into nanoscale disc-shaped structures, our technology enables the purification of membrane proteins to high homogeneity under aqueous conditions. Explore how Synthetic Nanodiscs empower the functional characterization of multi-span transmembrane proteins in their active form, revolutionizing the future of membrane protein research and drug development. Protein function: Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH (PubMed:1325670, PubMed:8463333, PubMed:1516719, PubMed:11442765, PubMed:11707265). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase (PubMed:1325670, PubMed:11707265, PubMed:16463023, PubMed:19737927). Mediates melanogenesis, the production of eumelanin (black/brown) and phaeomelanin (red/yellow), via regulation of cAMP signaling in melanocytes (PubMed:31097585). [The UniProt Consortium]
